City attorney warns San Diego mayor's staff chief

SAN DIEGO (AP) - City attorneys have warned San Diego Mayor Bob
Filner's chief of staff to stop inquiries to mayor's office employees
about the sexual harassment allegations against Filner.

U-T San Diego reports Assistant City Attorney Paul Cooper sent a memo Thursday
to Chief of Staff Lee Burdick saying her quizzing of the staff is
inappropriate and is interfering with the work of city attorneys.

The memo also calls on Burdick to hand over certain documents that she has been withholding by citing attorney-client privilege.

It
goes on to explain that the only attorney that serves the city of San
Diego is the city attorney, and Burdick will be sued if she doesn't
comply.

The memo tells Burdick, "you are a witness in this litigation, not an attorney."
